Endophytic fungi are part of microbial community found in various types of plant tissues including the leave, and display a range of symbiotic interactions with the plant host. In this study, endophytic fungi isolated from banana leaves were identified using ITS (Internal Transcribed Spacer region) sequences of which 10 genera comprising 17 species were molecularly identified. Endophytic fungal species identified were , , , , , , , sp., dan The present study showed that several endophytic fungal genera/species are common plant pathogen and there is a possibility that these endophytes can become pathogenic. Some of the fungal endophyte might be mutualist or saprophyte.
内生真菌是存在于包括叶片在内的各种植物组织中的微生物群落的一部分,并与植物宿主表现出一系列共生相互作用。在本研究中,利用ITS(内转录间隔区)序列对从香蕉叶中分离出的内生真菌进行了鉴定,分子鉴定出10个属共17个种。鉴定出的内生真菌种类有 , , , , , , , 种, 以及 。本研究表明,几种内生真菌属/种是常见的植物病原体,这些内生菌有可能致病。一些真菌内生菌可能是共生菌或腐生菌。
